Coit, jute, seagrass or sisal?

We have horrid, horrid carpets and i want to replace them. I orefer hard floors, but its not going to happen for a long time, so i need something hard wearing for our downstairs and staircase.

I think our floors work HARD, i often catch dh going through the house in his boots, i don't think that will change and we have walk through rooms instead of corridors, so all high traffic areas.

I love the look of herringbone Seagrass, but have had a loom at all those in the title and like the look on screen of all of them, but have never experienced living with them. I don't know anyone with them now either. I do remember havinga nasty fall down some slippery natural floor covered stairs as a kid, but don't know which type that was:o

I am interested in opinions into how they wear, how easier they are to clean and which might work in a high traffic area.

I haven't lived with them but after discussing with carpet fitters I've heard they tend to fray at the edges therefore not likely to last as long as alternatives. Personally for what you describe I'd visit a carpet shop and check out some of the newer synthetics and wool blends and ask them about longevity.
